After A False Start, Blackberry Is Now Taking Pre-Orders For The Android-Powered Priv For $699

Earlier this week Blackberry’s official online store posted a pre-order page for the Priv, a high-end QWERTY slider phone that also happens to be the company’s first full Android device. Apparently that was a bit premature – it disappeared after a short time, but not so short that prospective customers didn’t balk at the $ 749 USD starting price. Today the pre-order page is back with a slightly cheaper price: $ 699.
